McNair Scholarship
The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, known at Claremont Graduate University as the McNair Scholars Program, is for students who have completed at least their sophomore year and are first-generation and low-income students, or who are from a group underrepresented at the doctoral level (African-American, Latino-American, or Native American).
Established in 1986 by the U.S. Department of Education and named for astronaut and Challenger space shuttle crew member Ronald McNair, the program encourages students to pursue graduate studies by providing opportunities to define goals, engage in research, and develop the skills and student/faculty mentor relationships critical to success at the doctoral level.
The scholarship award includes a six-week summer session at Claremont Graduate University and a stipend. For more information about the program, visit www.cgu.edu/pages/380.asp
